The nurse is calculating intake for a client. The client received: ,¢ 0.9% saline at 70 mL/hr for four hours ,¢ two eight-ounce cups of ice chips ,¢ one eight-ounce cup of coffee ,¢ three eight-ounce cups of water. The nurse should calculate the client's total intake as how many mL? Fill in the blank.
Correct Answer: 1240 mL
Rationale: Calculate IV fluid: 70 mL/hr × 4 hr = 280 mL. Convert ounces to mL: 8 oz = 240 mL. Ice chips count as half volume: 240 mL ÷ 2 = 120 mL per cup. Total: 280 mL + 240 mL (2 cups ice chips) + 240 mL (coffee) + 720 mL (3 cups water) = 1240 mL.
